Death is the loneliest state of existence, a fact that Boston Brand never stopped to consider...at least not until he died. After an assassin's bullet cuts down the famed circus aerialist, Deadman learns what it's like to be truly alone and all he hopes one day to find love after death. Investigating an abandoned circus in the Wisconsin Northwoods, Deadman comes upon another ghost...the spirit of a female aerialist rumored to have been murdered by her husband. The two fall in love...but even death can't protect her from her still-living husband's jealousy as he unleashes a horde of side show horrors to keep them apart.
